This is an issue that has been dogging us for some time. In general, the performance of the site is OK, with the initial page loading OK and the category and product pages and EZ pages are loading OK.
We are, however having a performance issue with the part of the sub-category page that lists the products in the sub-category (image, text, price etc.) down the page. The initial part of the page loads OK but stalls when the products are being listed.
- I don't think this is a host issue (we have already talked to our Host -- HostExcellence) because the performance issues only happen on specific pages. The entire site is not slow... only this specific page. We also have another Zen and some Wordpress sites on this host and performance is OK.
- We have (in a few categories) sized the images so that they are not sized by ZenCart (e.g. sized the _MED, _LRG images). Our intent is to do the rest of the site this way. This did not change the times.
- I did run a check on all the tables of the Database and came back with the message "UNIQUE and INDEX keys should not both be set for column 'configuration_key". [Not sure if this is applicable].
- Our parse times for all pages but the problem page are sub 1 second. The times for the sub-category pages are around 12 - 16 seconds (yeeech).
- I have reviewed my configuration files and find nothing suspect there.
- I don't have subcategories and products mixed together in a single category. The product structure is very clean ... category > subcategory > product.
- The same problem happens when I use the default template.
so.... any suggestions as to what next??
